About Posting Adjustments in General Ledger
When an adjustment batch is posted, General Ledger entries are automatically made to the Inventory and Inventory Adjustments accounts specified for the location (unless overwritten on an expense entry) in IN Locations.
However, if overrides are set up by category, then updates will be made to the accounts specified in IN Location Category Override.
The following example illustrates how a negative inventory adjustment affects GL accounts.

Note: If the example used a positive amount, the $100 would be
debited from the Inventory account and credited to the Inventory Adjustments account
specified in IN Locations.
